Ombre Wooden Necklace

STEP 1: Mix your paint.  Start with the darkest color you want, then add a little white, then more white until you have three separate shades on your palette {paper plate}.  

To get my dark color, I actually mixed orange and pink paint together since I didn’t have a nice coral right from the bottle.

STEPS 2-5: Place tape on wooden disc so that it covers all but the bottom third of your disc.  Paint two coats of your darkest color.  Fold down so the top third is exposed and paint two coats of your lightest color.  When dry, remove tape and paint your middle color.

STEP 6: Cover with a thick coat of Super Gloss Mod Podge.  Make sure not to seal your hole shut.

STEP 7: Add a jump ring and chain, whatever length you like.

You can also substitute a colored cord, like this fun turquoise leather, for a fun contrast.
